    The Tavern is located on the first floor at the Fontainebleau. This casual restaurant doubles as a sportsbook with an upscale pub vibe. During our recent stay at the Fontainebleau, we dined here 3 times (of these, the last two visits were chosen by different business partners). The Classic Tavern Burger was delicious and filling. The side of fries were hot and crispy. The Classic Caesar Salad with added Grilled Chicken was okay. Two of the servers were happy and attentive - our first service seemed like she could use a smile. Overall, really nice dining spot inside the Fontainebleau without going to the upscale restaurants or the food court options. Plus, there were tons of TV screens to look at and a good selection of alcoholic beverages.

    Brisket sliders and crispy french fries

    Great food and ambience! Sarah our server was awesome! The brisket sliders were delicious. Probably one of the nicest sports bar on the strip.

    We wanted to watch the Final Four semifinal games at a new place so we booked a 6:30pm reservation on Saturday night for the wife and me. The ambiance of the restaurant is very lively. This is a great place to watch a game as there are dozens of TVs that can be viewed from every seat. It's loud with folks cheering but that's exactly the atmosphere we were after. The service was pretty good - obviously I'm not expecting a Michelin-star level of attentiveness at a sports bar and overall our server Jennifer was nice and welcoming. The food was delivered timely to our table and plates were cleared promptly. We really enjoyed the food - we decided to share some appetizers so we could taste many of the dishes. We ordered the potato skins, the nachos, the cornbread bites, the brisket sliders and a side of asparagus. The skins were awesome - perfectly tender potato boats absolutely loaded with your traditional toppings. Same with the nachos - each one was dressed with multiple layers of toppings. I highly recommended both of those as well as the cornbread bites which were such a unique presentation and dripping with butter (yum!). The brisket sliders were quite yummy as well - cute little poppyseed buns paired well with the barbecue meat. Dinner total came to $140 before tax and tip and we had ample delicious leftovers to bring home due to the generous portion sizes. That total also included a cocktail and glass of wine.

    Actual receipt. Changed tip amount to $92

    Update to the fraudulent tip charge: my daughter reached out to the restaurant when we first noticed the charge. They told her someone would get back to her, but no one ever did. Terrible service! If they pulled the receipt, they would have clearly seen the correct amount. She did a chargeback and after 6+ weeks, the chargeback was approved. My daughter was honest and didn't even request a credit for the meal or the original tip amount. Only the incorrect tip amount. No apology and nothing to try to make the right. SHAME ON THE TAVERN!!!

    Crabcakes
    Anastasia V.

    After a couple Fontainebleau employees recommended The Tavern as a restaurant to check out in the hotel, I decided to stop in. They knew what they were talking about too, cos my mom and I really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here. I'm a hockey lover, and our server was able to switch the nearby TV screens to the hockey channels right away. Unfortunately I forgot his name, but he was such a great server! We started with the cornbread bites which seemed like a popular menu item and let me just say.. so delicious!! The cornbread was moist and buttery! The shaved cheese was perfect on top too. My mom got the kale and brussel sprout salad with salmon added. The salad was so tasty and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I got the crabcakes which were a great size. The crabcakes come with fries too. If you like your fries to be shoestring-y and super crispy, you are in for a treat. If you get a chance to view the food pics I took, they all look wonky cos I was so excited to try everything.. Everything was filling and tasty at the same time. And because you're on the Strip, you can take a nice stroll to digest too. I will definitely be back to eat at The Tavern the next time I'm in Vegas!

    The Go Time, a well-balanced espresso martini.
    Evan W.

    Stopped in for a lunch of starters to start the weekend, and was really glad we did. Yes, this is a restaurant overlooking a Vegas sports book, but this is also The Fontainebleau Hotel, so things are elevated a bit. Still relatively new, the restaurant is clean and well-appointed, with dark woods and soft lighting offering a calm respite in the midst of casino hubbub. Our server, Chloe, was friendly and took good care of us, with a few jokes and well-wishes for the weekend. I began with Go Time, their version of an espresso martini (which I ordered with vodka instead of tequila); it was well-balanced, with a good coffee bite and a smooth, sweet finish. A terrific midday cocktail. For food, we shared 3 starters. Guacamole was fairly standard, but had a very nice texture and a welcome lime-forward tang. Cornbread Bites were exceptional, with a good deal of jalapeño spice and decadent richness from a generous infusion of cheddar. Crispy on all edges and sides, and dusted with Parmesan, this was a really satisfying choice. Lastly, we ordered the Pigs In A Blanket. Not the typical hot dogs, instead built with much more flavorful cheddar sausages wrapped in a higher quality puff pastry than usual. Very, very tasty. The accompanying honey mustard sauce was also very good, though its sweetness atop the richness of the piggies was a tad too much. We asked for regular mustard and, although they only had traditional yellow, the kick of vinegar was a welcome and needed contrast to the richness of the dogs. It would be great if they could offer a spicy deli or stone ground mustard along with the honey; even Dijon would be a good choice. Setting aside my personal mustard proclivities, this was a terrific midday meal at a really nice spot. Burgers and fried chicken delivered to neighboring tables looked excellent. I'm sure it gets a bit crazy when a big game is on the screens, and that's okay. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

    Double Cheeseburger
    Jeremy S.

    Excellent sports book located within the Fontainebleau. This place has an excellent menu of bar food with great viewing angles of the TVs. My go to here is the double cheeseburger, which is delicious! The bar staff is super friendly and the machines at the bar comp at $50 spend! Enjoy

    Jalapeno sausages
    Mark H.

    Came for the La Barbecue popup at The Tavern. I saw the vision but the execution was not there. The meats were so flavorful and tender, and the accompanying sauce was very complementary. I always appreciate BBQ where the meats do the talking and you don't need to rely on a bunch of different sauces. The pickled vegetables were great (I like spicy and the jalapenos had a legit kick to them), although I wasn't crazy about either the mac & cheese or potato salad. Unfortunately, it took over 40 minutes from when we ordered for the bulk of the trinity plate to come, and despite this most meats arrived lukewarm at best. Additionally, they told us the sausages weren't ready yet and they were brought about 10 minutes after everything else came. I can definitely see La Barbecue potentially being really good BBQ, although maybe not necessarily Michelin starred. However, the slow service and cold dishes limited the experience at this popup.

    Came for La barbecue Michelin popup at the sportsbook. Food was disappointingly cold. Waited 1hr before being seated. Everything else was fantastic though. The jalapeño sausage was fantastic. The pickles onion and pickled pickles were 10/10. The potatoe salad was delicious. Had fresh dill and mustard in it. Bbq sauce was spectacular, if the meat was hot it would've been 10/10 5. Stars. The brisket was tender and fall apart jsut dry and cold. The pork was super Lean and flavorful just cold. Service was decent, they were busy. The menu was simple and very straightforward. Ambiance was a vibe, I'd definitely go and checkout some games on the weekend.

    Texas Trinity Plate
    Cynthia H.

    NOTE: This review is for the food from the Michelin-starred La Barbecue from Austin, which is at The Tavern through 12/14/25 only. I was super excited to have a taste of Michelin-rated BBQ, so my hubby and I ordered the Texas Trinity Plate, which came loaded with 1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb pulled pork, and two hefty links of jalapeño sausage, accompanied by mac & cheese, potato salad, potato bread slices, pickles, and pickled red onion. It looked amazing, and I wanted it to be amazing, but it fell a little flat. - Temperature: The food wasn't hot. I went to the bathroom so the food sat for maybe 2 minutes before I got back, but it felt like the food was just tepid at its peak. - Flavors: The sauce tasted amazing, and the sausage had a nice kick to it, but the brisket and the pulled pork just didn't have the smokiness I was hoping for. The mac & cheese was the most lacking in flavor... to the point where my hubby requested salt and pepper to try to amp up the flavor. I personally also felt that the mac & cheese was lacking in cheese. The sauce seemed a little thin and didn't give me the ooey gooey feel I generally expect to get when I think mac & cheese. - Ambiance: The ambiance was great. There were tons of TV screens playing various different sporting events, so there is definitely something for everyone. There were lots of people who appeared to have come from a conference and the atmosphere was definitely lively/ rocking especially for a Tuesday night. My hubby and I agreed we need to come back another time and order from the actual (non pop-up) menu as there were several items that caught our eye. I will definitely update this review at that time.

    Disclaimer: I am not leaving a rating for the food as I attended this location for a temporary food pop up that does not have its own Yelp page. Venue: The venue is easy to find inside the casino and decorated nicely. Plenty of TVs to watch any games you'd like. Service: We were able to grab seats at the bar and did not work with the regular serving staff. Our bartender was a bit overwhelmed and missed some things but not a make or break situation. Food: The real reason for visiting! While browsing the menu I made the only wise choice and ordered the complete tray for two. It had a little bit (and by little bit I mean a very generous serving) of all of the goods. I have zero complaints about the food. Literally everything on the tray was delicious independently and when paired with the rest, it was some of the best bbq I've ever had. Each item complimented the next in an outstanding fashion. The brisket was top 3 I've ever had. Pulled pork was a sleeper out of the group. The pickles were also a standout. I can't say enough great things about the food and will likely make a trip to Austin to visit the actual location.

    Drinks n games time.
    Maggie R.

    Great atmosphere, but for some reason our waiters was hard to find when we needed something. Otherwise, food was good small portions, but good quality of food. We had the cod fish n fries the crust was good and the best coleslaw I've ever had. The drinks had an interesting names, but for me were meh. Maybe stick to the classic drinks for next time

    Salmon
    Mony S.

    We stopped in for lunch at The Tavern inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas and I ordered the roasted salmon from the lunch menu. The salmon itself was really good, moist, well-cooked, and flavorful with the basil-parmesan sauce and Mediterranean grains. Unfortunately, the service fell short. They lost our order ticket and we ended up waiting a very long time, which was frustrating. The food was solid, but the long delay hurt the overall experience
